Mus musculusGenAge entry for Rictor (Mus musculus)

Gene information (ID: 1852)

Symbol
Rictor
Name
RPTOR independent companion of MTOR, complex 2
Organism
Mus musculus (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Heterozygous male rictor+/- mice display a significantly decrease in median lifespan (40%) compared to wild-type controls. Liver- specific deletion of Rictor in male mice also resulted in a 30% decrease in median lifespan. In both models, the decrease in lifespan was associated by a decrease in the incidence of cancer. Inducibly deleting Rictor throughout the body in adult animals, results in a stronger phenotype with a median survival of less than 1 year. No significant changes were observed for female lifespan in any of the three models.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan of Rictor-deficient mice was up to 40% lower in males. Lifespan was not affected in females.
